Fully Fit Rishabh Pant Expected to Return to India ODI Squad for South Africa Series
In a major boost for the Indian cricket team and Delhi Capitals fans, wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is expected to make his return to the ODI squad for the upcoming series against South Africa. Pant, who has been recovering from injury, is now reported to be fully fit and ready to reclaim his spot in the national setup.
This positive fitness update comes as India prepares for a busy white-ball schedule. Pant's inclusion is anticipated to fill a crucial gap in the middle order, providing the team with a dynamic left-handed option. His return is particularly timely given that Shreyas Iyer is expected to miss the ODI series due to a rib injury.
As the captain of the Delhi Capitals, Pant's successful return to international cricket is a significant positive development ahead of the next IPL season. His presence will be vital for India as they look to stabilize their squad composition across formats.
